Located on the north-west Bank of the Liffey River in downtown Dublin, Phoenix Park covers 1,760 acres and is the most famous park in Ireland. The Park was originally built in 1663 by the then Governor, Duke Omond, to cater to the reincarnated King Charles II and some of Dublin's dignitaries. After several centuries of changes, it still maintains the characteristics of the deer garden in the 17th century. The American Embassy was in the park. The day we went, the American Embassy lowered its flag at half-mast because of the Orlando shooting. Ireland's presidential palace is also in the park. Our car was parked near a tall cross. Pope Paul II preached here in 1979, when nearly a third of the country's population (more than 1 million people) went to see and listen. In the same year, the Irish government erected a huge cross in the center of the park to commemorate this important religious event. The park is very big, we haven't come to many places, many sights haven't been seen, some of them looked through the window of the section where the bus passed, and it rained on the way back, so the photos couldn't be taken. Of course, it's a little regrettable, but one day's scenic spots must be completed, so we can only take a walk to see the flowers.
